Glad to be back, over the last decade my health has been in steady decline, and a week and a half ago I was hit with another blood clot. This time was a really bad one, not that any are ever good, it took me by surprise, my first clot I felt coming on, this one gave me no indication, both happened in the same area of my left arm.

It took a long time to get an ambulance to my house, and by the time I got to the hospital, and my doctor saw me, there was a good chance I might lose my arm. This would be my 20th surgery in ten years. Having lost my left leg in 2005, I did`nt relish the thought of losing my left arm.

In recovery I awoke, and found I still had a left arm, and could feel my fingertips, as well as grip with my hand. I was still not out of the woods as yet, the next few days in the hosp. would yeld results, and set adjustment of my medications. I don`t want to chew your ears off, just wanted to let you know, that when I`m up to par I`ll finish my campaign reports if there`s still interest. Got to rest up a little, all you guys take care. Puts
